Eric, actor in Monty Python (4)

I believe the answer is:

idle

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Tick over like engine" , "Lied about being lazy or not working" , "loiter aimlessly" , "having been taken from service" , "Maybe Eric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
